Should the devout, who believe in living a pure life, sacrifice their sexual purity for the sake of a few hours of loud, suggestive, and crude ‘entertainment’? While non-muslims might poke fun at cherished beliefs about the afterlife, those of us who take such ideas seriously will simply enjoy being surrounded by virgins and chaste pleasures. Anyone who would jeapardize that simply to see loud singers gyrating on stage, with the backing of alcohol companies, is irrational.

Malaysia was a liberal tolerant Muslim country but unfortunately for everyone, it is devolving back to the Middle Ages in preparation for our future driving camels … when petrol runs out.

Someone wrote that it’s ironic that in Malaysia Muslims have rights but restricted freedoms and non-Muslims have no rights but more freedoms!
So sad,
